Life School holds Elementary Science Fair

52 Life School students compete in second annual event

(RED OAK, TX) January 27, 2017 – Life School, a leading North Texas charter school serving over 5,600 students, held its second annual Elementary Science Fair at its Red Oak campus on January 27th. Fifty-two students in grades 3-6 from five of Life School’s campuses competed, with awards going to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place at each grade level.

Each student presented a science project of their choosing based on pre-defined criteria, and used their own creativity to develop their individualized project as part of this hands-on learning experience.

“The goal of the science fair is to provide students with an authentic experience that will enable them to develop critical thinking while learning through the process of inquiry,” said Melissa Brown, Life School Elementary Science Coordinator.
